but i hate bp basically because i suck bad at it


This is the truth to why a lot of people hate it.  At least you're honest.  Not everyone's built for it, but it's not a bad exercise as long as it is done correctly.

Truth.  And you don't have to use that steeply declined bench that most gyms have.  Slide a 25 lb plate under the front of the flat bench, very slight decline.

Made the switch from bar to DBs years ago. I think that saved me a lot of wear and tear, and has allowed  me to continue to lift. No direct shoulder work, tho.
